the action of that body in amending the
joint resolution for the purchase of revised

Mr.. DODDS moved that the house concur
in the amendment of the council to the

found he was in the minority In this mat
was justice of the peace in his own town,
and the county commissioners would not
allow him copy of the code. He had

was 10 such thing as an honest lawyer,

economy. He thought that after the lib
eral manner in which the house had
treated itself to newspapers they should
! 60 little slow. He could not 90 home
carrying with him book which cost the
people 50, and for which he paid nothing,
but appropriated, and look them in the
face. The government is, he said, liberal
to the members of the legislature in the
payment of per diem and mileage, and he
| thought in return the members should be
